<img alt="If it isn’t obvious already, I take serious issue with the commercialization of spirituality. Once the desire for success overtakes the desire for service to the greater good, you cross the border into service of your own ego, and the work loses its integrity. One of the reasons I took a sabbatical from offering paid services in 2017 is because I had no steady source of income and was in a position where I needed to make ends meet. But if I'm in a position where I *need* to make my spiritual work support me financially, then I'm inherently driven by a state of lack wherein my primary motivation is to make money, rather than to be of service. If I'm inherently driven by a state of lack wherein my primary motivation is to achieve status and success, rather than be of service, the work also loses its integrity. This concept applies to business, as well as life—when you lose sight of your mission, you find yourself out of alignment with your higher purpose. Spiritual work is sacred work. People trust you with their deepest level of vulnerability. You have a responsibility to honor that within your interactions. >>>>It's important to periodically check in with ourselves and give our motivations a hard, honest assessment.<<<< You might be sitting there thinking, “Well Ash, nobody ever became a millionaire with that attitude.” And you’d be erroneously assuming that I desire to be a millionaire. I don’t. I’ve known a few. They’re rarely happy and frequently followed by a trail of regrets. The happy ones are the people who followed a passion, the money was just a pleasant side effect. You can be successful and still do what you love. The difference is that if you do what you love, you're more likely to be successful at it. If you strive primarily for success and lose sight of what you love, you'll end up just like rest of them at the end of the day, sacrificing real fulfillment while working your ass off for something that ends up being hollow.

Yesterday I saw a narcissistic abuse coach on Inst

<img alt="Yesterday I saw a narcissistic abuse coach on Instagram, in two separate posts, tell her followers that having empathy for their abuser was the reason they kept ending up in toxic relationships and to “stop making excuses for them.” Let’s clear this up: Empathy is not the reason people end up or stay in toxic/abusive relationships. A lack of healthy boundaries is, among a myriad of other complex factors such as taking responsibility for their partner’s emotions, which is CODEPENDENCY, not empathy. Having empathy is the very thing that separates you from a narcissistic abuser, and don’t ever let someone shame you for that. Instead of shaming clients and followers with “stop making excuses for your abuser,” try empowering them with reasons why their boundaries matter. >>>>Tough love is neither loving, nor is it trauma-informed.<<<< “Tough love” that mimics abusive language and uses shame as a motivator is just as damaging as the abuse itself, and any coach who is doing this is only compounding their clients’ trauma — and asking you to pay them for it. Do. Not. Pay. Someone. To. Abuse.
